Packaging Django apps
Packaging Django-aware libraries for distribution
Packaging apps so that they can be tested within a django context, but without having to add them to an existing django project is pretty easy to to, but takes a bit more work than a standalone application.
We recently pushed our django-errordite and python-errordite apps to PyPI, and as part of that process I was keen to ensure that . . .
Managing multiple Heroku configurations

How we roll
As a gentle introduction to our blog, I thought I'd begin with a brief outline of our technology stack.

Welcome to our blog
Inspired by Etsy's 'Code as Craft', and built by humans, this is where we will be posting articles on tech as seen by the YJ team. This will be opinionated and personal, but hopefully also useful.
